Situated a short distance from the centre of Cambridge, The Old Station Nursery Granta Park offers the perfect setting for parents commuting to the city as well as the surrounding areas. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child, such as child-friendly cooking, language and organic growing classes. These classes help to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process, difference cultures, the environment and sustainable living.
In the organic-centred nursery, a lively curriculum inspires curiosity, sparks imagination, and cultivates overall wellness. Children eagerly participate in plant nurturing, produce harvesting, and culinary exploration, acquiring knowledge about plant growth, diverse fruits, and cooking methods. The nursery also proudly offers a cookery enhancement, featuring uniquely crafted cooking and baking utensils designed with children's safety and ease of use in mind.
Purposefully designed, the nursery offers four rooms that have been curated for different ages and stages of development. In each of the large and airy rooms, children can explore a range of resources and equipment chosen specifically for them. Each room also benefits from access to a separate garden space. With laid Astroturf and a range of resources, from a mud kitchen to a climbing frame, children are free to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors.
Granta Park focuses on the learning of Languages via Baby Sing and Sign classes, Spanish language lessons and interactive multilingual books. This is embedded into an overall engaging curriculum. Children have access to a range of high-quality and engaging texts and children’s stories from Polylino.

The staff is generally very nice and forthcoming with information to get feedback on the day. The activities offered seem to be varied enough. I wish they would pay more attention to put hat/gloves/scarf when going outside because my daughter has been sick a lot. Also, I would like them to encourage my kid to sit on the potty more often. I am not very happy with the fact that I usually cannot leave my child at 8 sharp because the staff is not in the room yet.
I am very grateful for the staff who's aware of my daughter's delay in development and trying to be supportive and help her specifically.

We've had a lovely experience at The Old Station Nursery with our boy. He joined at 9 months and settled into the baby room well. His key worker Parys was incredible and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. He tried so many new food which was great at expanding his experience of new textures and tastes. Hes now a fantastic eater. Hes grown in confidence so much while he's been at the nursery and I love how they expose him to so many activities. He now in the toddler room and they have continued to help him grow with his speech through dancing and singing. I really appreciate all the updates we get on the app and information about the weekly themes. Thank you everyone!

My son has been at The Old Station Nursery for nearly 2 years - the care, support and joy I see at that Nursery everyday is wonderful to see. There is no way I could teach him what they teach him in nursery to help with his development, and he eats better than I do! Since moving house, I could move him to a nursery closer to home, that thought has never crossed my mind due to the bond he has with the nursery and the wonderful staff that work there. They don't just look out for your children, they look out for you as parents. Cannot praise the team enough.

The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated to each child's growth and well-being. My child has flourished in their care, developing confidence, social skills, and a real love for learning.
